A month and a half ago, I was visited by a representative from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI). He raised a simple question: “Would you be willing to establish and lead a new advisory council for the U.S. Government on the science of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP). I responded: “You had me at `hello.’
The request is unusual for several reasons. First, how often do government employees admit that they cannot fulfill their duties and ask scientists for help? Second, why would ODNI admit that the best sensors employed by the U.S. military are unable to identify objects in our sky if the most down-to-Earth interpretation is that such objects might be manufactured by adversarial nations. We know about the Chinese spy balloon that was shot down in 2023. When finding an ant in the kitchen, we get alarmed because we realize that there must be many more ants hiding elsewhere. For every spy balloon that we know about there must be many drones that were flagged as UAP orbs.
There was no doubt in mind that I should accept this role. As a U.S. citizen, I feel obligated to help ODNI and the Pentagon fulfil their mission of protecting national security. Moreover, if one in a million UAP happens to have a non-human origin, this will constitute the biggest cosmic discovery ever made by humanity.
